Glad for the larger world and new opportunities #IStandWithAhmed has open to him. Sad that there seems to be an undercurrent of backlash.

If the 'net overreacted (and, frankly, I don't think it did), what's the harm? And it's certainly not Ahmed's fault.

If your reaction to Ahmed is an urge to proclaim that you don't think his clock was so great, maybe ask yourself what that accomplishes.
